Kid on the D train with a dodecahedron puzzle cube. (Think a rubik's cube with 12 faces and 11 facets on each face.)
I'm watching him mess with it thinking he's just playing, but then I realize he's doing a solving algorithm.
That kid's going to show up after break speed-solving a megaminx and […]

I would just like to say that Katie Hoody's NYTimes crossword puzzle today has an absolutely beautiful grid. Nice puzzle too! But just look at that in black and white.
